But Boxers Make More Than UFC Fighters!

[Crimson Glory]

Because it's a tune up for the Kovalev fight in November, if you followed boxing you'd know that.

Good point, this is just to get Ward's feet wet again.

This is Ward's 4th tune up fight in a row lol

Discussion is about MMA fighters not UFC fighters.

It's in the UFC section.

It's in the UFC section.

And? There's a pretty big clue about what the topic is about, it's called the words in the thread.

 

[bubbleboyjones]

Can we put this bullshit argument to bed yet?

Ward isn't fighting on PPV. How much to UFC headliners make on FS1?

 

[Tormund]

This is Ward's 4th tune up fight in a row lol

No it isn't, his last fight was against Barrera who is decent considering the shallow division he's in. Stop acting like you know things about boxing, anybody who did wouldn't call Brand anything other than a nobody. The fact that Brand is getting a higher flat fee than a former champion is EMBARRASSING.

Dos Anjos's last 2 fights. He's never made more than 300k as a champ.

Rafael dos Anjos $310,000
Rafael dos Anjos: $300,000

 

[Rovert]

What bullshit argument?

Do top level boxers make more than top level mma fighters? Yes.

Do middle of the pack boxers generally make more than middle of the pack mma fighters? Yes.

Do lower tier boxers generally make more than lower tier mma fighters? No.

So low tier boxers make less then free ? do they they pay to fight ?

speaking of flat flee's , that is something missing in MMA the 10/10 50/50 stuff is BS

Ufc pay fighters what they are worth. Plus, Ufc cards have twice as many fighters to pay which always get lost in the discussion.

I can't argue that , 2 guys come in at the bottom making the min & decide that they will stand there & look at each other for the first 2 min of every round & spend the rest of the time looking like 2 magnets trying to touch , def not helping there situation.

http://www.sherdog.com/events/HKFC-School-of-Hard-Knocks-12-17111 this event here was Ronda's second fight they hold this event 20 min from me , people fight for free at this event , I think it is called something else now but still at the same location , but anyway what undercard boxing event pays guys 1000$ ?

It was Pacquiao/Bradley 3. Not $1,000 like I thought I remembered, but $1,500, which is close enough to $1,000

How about now, smartass?

LOL the kid is 17 , he must be happy at 17 to have 1500 , but yea that is surprising to see that low of payouts on such a high profile card , there is a 2-3 k

At one point, May/Pac/Canelo/Marquez/Cotto/Klisctko were all getting 7 to 8 figures per fight for a span of about 2 yrs and that's not including ppv revenue or sponsors . How many MMA fighters even whiffed 7 figure purses in their career?

 

[Hi-Tech]

Why would someone like Ward be fighting a nobody?

It's a tune up fight for monster Kovalev in fall.

He's shaking the ring rust, the fact that he has another fight booked already tells you how big of a bum this Alexander Brand is.

Also, the fact that Ward is still making almost a mil for this joke of a fight pretty much proves that boxing pays MUCH better than MMA.

That's like RDA being paid a million to fight Artem Lobov while already being booked to fight Khabib in november.

 

[Turtlejuice]

How about now, smartass?

Well, that's better.

In terms of money it's the same principle, most of the money is at the top. Just the top in boxing has more than in MMA

Actually LHW is one of the most stacked divisions in boxing right now. A lot of talent coming up. Beterbiev, Gvozdyk, Shabranskyy... Then there's Stevenson, Ward and Kovalev. Chilemba, Fonfara and Pascal are decent too. If they'll fight each other in the next years it will be great for boxing.

Money vs pacman more salary then last 100 ufc salaries combined end of story

TS just assumed Brand was a name since he was fighting Ward and thought he was making some amazing point
lol noob

 

[$uicideboy$]

werdum hw champ of the world made 165k in his last fight
